Super Trofeo for the street. Active aero will be a cool area of development to watch, esp for track oriented cars.

^ Didn't intend that to be so specific. Understand 2 v 4wd. Although a Performante with rwd could be their widow maker.

Was on track at Spa last summer with a bunch of the super trofeo guys testing, very cool. Esp seeing how fast they were in the wet.

There is an unveiling set can't recall the date.

If this is offered in a Spider going to be hard to say no.

These cars are wicked fast hoping it's awd have enough cars that want to kill me.

Love my SV was never a Lambo guy but the products are insane!

It would be a shame if it is awd. That was the main complaint about the superleggera that awd made it less fun on the track. My hunch is that most likely it will be rwd this time. But only a hunch. No cleaning ladies told me that.

Do lambo light weights hold value like the ferrari or porsche track version cars? Or not even close?

Like I said, it will be AWD. I do know a cleaning lady at Lamborghini.

With the Gallardo, the Superleggera, STS, and Performante were not significantly different from the standard cars like the GT3 is to a C2S/GTS. It is the RWD manual transmission cars that are most rare and unique, and holding value at around MSRP like Porsche GT cars.

Blows my mind to see how far Lamborghini has come. After driving both, the leap from the gallardo to huracan is absolutely staggering, and the hurracan is a properly good car (better than 488 imo). Hard to believe it's possible to shave off 35 seconds with the sports trim of a car, but if it's true...
